Glorious Goodwood 2017 – Matt Chapman’s tips for day three shown live on ITV this Thursday, August 3
Get all the info to bash the bookies as ITV's Matt Chapman runs you through the third day of Glorious Goodwood
DAY three of Glorious Goodwood, and despite the weather it’s all about trying to find a winner or two so a bit of rain won’t be stopping me!
ITV are at Goodwood again Thursday and the first race broadcast is the 1.50pm, a near 1m2f handicap.
It’s tricky, but there is a chance of improvement for LEADER’S LEGACY, who is stepped up in trip and wears cheekpieces for the first time.
Saeed bin Suroor’s runner has a good draw and 94 is a workable mark.
Next is the 2.25pm, a 1m6f Group 3 for fillies and mares. The class act here could be ENDLESS TIME, who is another who wears cheekpieces after running down the field in the Ascot Gold Cup.
This is a big drop in class for the Charlie Appleby raider and she might be able to take advantage if anywhere near her best.
Hopefully the 3.00pm, the Group 2 Richmond, is a bit easier to solve, and I like the look of INVINCIBLE ARMY, who was a little disappointing behind Cardsharp at Newmarket last time.
He’s lightly raced and may have learnt a lot for that outing. An each-way bet for James Tate.
Finally, the big race of the day is the Group 1 Nassau at 3.35, and all eyes on Winter who steps up in trip to 1m2f.
I have to take a chance with SO MI DAR, who is an absolute class act for John Gosden but who has been off the track for 305 days.
Johnny G is quite capable of getting her ready for a big one – and at the odds I’ll back her eachway.
So it looks pretty tricky on paper. But we go again at Goodwood hoping for a Yeeehaaa! You Betcha!
